How to Measure Oxygen Saturation in Blood with Oppo Band

Oxygen therapy can be performed on Covid-19 patients with oxygen saturation below 90 percent, even if they show no physical signs of low oxygen levels.

If the patient has signs of low oxygen levels, then oxygen therapy should be started immediately.

Oxygen therapy is safe for newborns, children, and adults including pregnant women. To administer oxygen therapy, the medical personnel will gently place a tube into the patient’s nostril to connect it to an oxygen source.

This tube is called a nasal cannula. The tube is so small that it will not hurt the patient during installation.

While administering oxygen therapy, the nurse can monitor the patient’s oxygen level with an oximeter. In patients without physical warning signs, the goal of therapy is to achieve 90 percent oxygen saturation.

You can stop oxygen therapy when saturation is above 90 percent. In patients with physical warning signs, the goal of therapy is to achieve 95 percent oxygen saturation.

If a patient’s oxygen level does not improve with oxygen therapy, they will need more intensive care.
